Scotland Yard tonight launched a full investigation into allegations that Conservative politicians were members of a paedophile ring which abused children in care the 1980s.

Operation Fernbridge will centre on the alleged historic sexual abuse of children at Elm Guest House, in Rocks Lane, a suburban street in Barnes, south-west London.

Residents of a nearby care home run by Richmond Council claim they were sexually assaulted at the property by a network of prominent individuals, including Tory MPs, who used their connections to escape justice.

First, with the Jimmy Savile investigation, it was Operation Yewtree, then it expanded to include others as Operation Fairbank. Now, without any arrests for Fairbank, the police have launched Operation Fernbridge.

Now, the naming of these operations are likely random or associated with some mnemonic device that we'll never know... but it's telling that Fairbank and Fernbridge are compound words starting with F-B.

I have seen some internet/twitter chatter that would suggest that perhaps the police found so much evidence during their Fairbank investigation that they had to widen the scope of the investigation considerably, thus the need for the new operation name and the mirroring of the F-B from the previous operation.

Just a thought. But this could be very encouraging.

Not sure why being a conservative politician has anything to do with it, as if no liberals ever engaged in illegal behavior. The current push in the UK and Canada to recognize pedophilia as "just another form of sexuality" isn't coming from the right either. That is coming from academics in the UK. If academics there are like those here in the US, the vast majority of them are liberals.

Hey Buff, those ideas about "just another form of sexuality" are coming from pedophile rings be sure in that, that has nothing to do with any political option and I seriously doubt in academic background...

I hear you. Part of the confusion has to do with UK politics and that "liberal" and "conservative" mean slightly different things there as they do in the US.

2ndly, while liberals are certainly capable of being pedos and involved in pedo rings, there's a certain sort of pedo that is also militant and hypocritical on an extraordinary level -- so outwardly and publicly "conservative" while secretly decadent and predatory.

Does that help?

Cant
